I just spent about 30 minutes composing what I believe to be an excellent first post. I thought I saved it, but I guess I didn't or I hit some button that does things I don't even know about yet. Bottom line: the whole, as in entire, post is gone. Here's the lesson I learned: well, hell, I don't know the most important thing I learned. So many options ran through my mind. Think I'll choose this one: anger and frustration generally don't change anything except our blood pressure. Somewhere, somehow, I made a mistake re: the first post. Guess what? I remembered a quote by a fellow named Alain de Botton. I am paraphrasing very badly here, but I think you'll understand what I'm getting at.
He said something to the effect that we should look at the moon more because it helps us put things in perspective. I made a mistake. In the course of a lifetime, that's nothing.
I'm putting the quote I had in the lost post ( I hate that those words don't rhyme). It made sense in the first post and it makes sense in this one:
“Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”
Dr. Martin Luther King
Just want to let you know that I definitely do not see the whole staircase. Hell, sometimes I don't even see the house the staircase is in, but I have chosen to take the first step. I think that's what this blog may be about.
